Quick Tip - It’s Not If, It’s When “How to let visitors use your WiFi safely” If you have people who visit your office or home, make sure you have a guest WiFi access for them that is separated from your main WiFi access. If you give guests your primary WiFi access, you’re practically opening the door for anyone to come in and steal data, infect your network and ransom you. After all, you don’t know if their PC or device is secure! Your guests’ access needs to be completely isolated and segregated from your private network and each other (something we can do for you). Your guests should not be able to reach your internal computer network, credit card terminals or other network-connected devices. #cybersecurity hashtag#technology hashtag#safety hashtag#quicktip hashtag#hdtech

#day75ofcybersecuritychallenge What is wardriving? Your smartphone sometimes tells you that there is a wireless network available and asks if you want to connect to it. That's because when your smartphone's wireless capability is turned on, it's constantly scanning for Wi-Fi, so it knows when you happen to pass by an available network. At its most basic level, that’s what wardriving is. Wardrivers use hardware and software to find Wi-Fi signals in a particular area. Often, their objective is to identify vulnerable Wi-Fi networks that they can exploit. From moving vehicles (the ‘driving’ part of wardriving), they attempt to locate vulnerable networks for later potential use in attacks (the ‘war’ part of wardriving). Once found, wardrivers may submit the information to third-party websites and apps to create digital maps. #cybersecurity #cybersecuritychallenge #wardriving
